Chapter 5 - Torture

Aurora’s P.O.V

Today was the day I am supposed to be going to France, I already had everything done. I was dressed, my bags were in the car and I was ready to go. The ride to the airport was very long. I thought I would never reach!

I went to check in with my ticket and the woman told me that my flight would be arriving late because of a massive fog disturbance this morning in France. Now this is just great, I have to wait half an hour for my flight.

I groaned loudly and sat down in a seat. I didn’t even have the chance to think yet when my phone went off. I quickly got it out of my pocket and put it on vibrate and read the message.

‘Hey Aurora. I hope you are safely on the plane. Forgot to tell you that when you went asleep in the hospital, I took your number from your phone. Text me when you land in France. I’ll come pick you up. – Dante’

This boy was something else, he snuck my number huh so I’m going to sneak something from him.

I texted back saying that I was not on my flight because of some fogs and he replied very quickly saying that he doesn’t mind the wait. Of course, you don’t mind the wait, you don’t have to work today.

30 minutes later…

Finally, the plane had arrived. I was bored I started to sing to myself and people were looking weirdly at me. I just shrugged my shoulders at everyone and continued to sing.

I boarded the plane and sat down beside the window and placed my bag under my seat. Finally, some rest. I was about to close my eyes when a stranger interrupted me.

“Um is this seat taken?” My eyes immediately opened by the voice, oh my gosh that voice is so sexy!

I looked up at the stranger and my suspicions were right, DAMN!!

The stranger was like an Adonis on legs. I could feel my chest closing. Oh no. I forgot I don’t do well under fine men’s gazes.

I placed my hands on my chest trying to sooth it but it was getting harder to breathe. I guess the stranger got the message that I couldn’t breathe because he had an inhaler in his hand. I took it our of his hand and inhaled from the inhaler.

My chest was loosening up and my breathing was getting slower. I heard the stranger sit down next to me and chuckle, “What?” I asked him as I hanged back the inhaler.

He took it from me and said, “Its nothing. Did I freak you out?”

I laughed, “Yes, you did.” And you are gorgeous! But I didn’t want to say that because I am going to see my man. Wait what? He is definitely not my man. Where did that thought come from?

“Well, I am glad that you are okay. My name is Markus.” He took his hand out for me to shake and I shook it. Before I could take my hand out of his, he kissed my hand.

“And what is your name gorgeous?” I wanted to tell him my name, but I wanted to play with him a bit. As I said, I am bored.

“Are you really thinking I would tell a stranger my name?” I saw his face fell but he recovered, and a smirk played on his lips.

“I thought that we were friends. I told you my name so why can’t you tell me yours?” I giggled at him. He is acting like such a child. I was about to answer him when the pilot started to talk over the intercom.

“Good morning passengers. I would like to welcome you to flight 302 that will be heading into Paris, France. I hope you will enjoy the flight. Also, as a reminder, the flight will take 14 to 15 hours traveling at high speed. Good morning again and see everyone when we land.”

Oh no. 15 hours of Markus, people staring at you and bad toilet service…this is bad.

Dante’s P.O.V

I swear I’ll kill this woman if she doesn’t stop bothering me. “Victoria for the last time, LEAVE MY HOME!” Still, she wasn’t fazed with my anger.

“Dante, I just need to talk to you. The wedding isn’t going to be just me on that stage you know.”

I stopped walking and faced her, “That’s exactly what I’m planning to do on the wedding day because I don’t love you. Why can’t you see that? My parents only want this wedding because they want more money. I thought of all people that you Victoria would see that this is just a scam.”

And with that, I walked off, leaving her dumbfounded. I just hope that she just sees through this wedding and this stupid money scam.

It was 7:30 a.m. and all on my mind was Aurora. Is she alright? Is she on the flight?

I know I can’t call her because everyone on the flight turned off their phones. I went up to my room, headed towards the bathroom and stripped down. I went into the shower and let the water hit my body. It was cool and it felt good. At least I know I can take a shower without being disturbed.

I came out of the shower and out the towel around my waist and called my maid, Anna.

“Sorry to disturb you, Anna, but can you pick me out an outfit that is casual. Like jeans, a shirt and tennis.” Anna nodded her head and went in my closet and started looking at clothes while I put on my underwear.

Anna put my clothes on the bed that fitted the description just like how I wanted it.

Soon it would be time to pick up Aurora from the airport.
